I think that believing is an ongoing state of thought, a continuation of a springboard or starting point. So many heart things and spirit revelation are not for the intellect to fully explain. But the purpose is to believe first, say yes first, and the resurrection, Lazarus and the promised land follow suit.

More important than an initial belief that is forgotten, but moving on to believe who I am in Christ, who Jesus in the flesh AND in deity -- instead of our need to explain the Father's ways, the question "why" that people demand an answer to before belief can settle.
